Korean fried chicken gets a lot of love in Singapore, but Thai fried chicken is no less delicious too. Hidden in the Sengkang neighbourhood is Tuk Tuk Gai Thai Fried Chicken, a hawker stall that serves unpretentious, no-frills Thai-style fried chicken and hearty Thai fare at affordable prices.
The stall is owned by Thai-Chinese zi char restaurant Yaowarat Seafood, so you know the food is legit here.

Most mains are priced at a wallet-friendly $5.90, with options including Coconut Rice with Wings, Chicken Rice with Garlic Pork, and Thai Green Curry with Rice and Eggs. The Tom Yum Fried Rice ($5.90) also comes with their signature Thai fried chicken wings!

Regulars return for their value-for-money portions and flavourful meats. The chicken wings, for instance, are well-marinated in Thai spices and herbs such as coriander and lemongrass, so they’re extra fragrant. They’re deep-fried till crispy on the outside, and juicy and tender on the inside. Thereafter, the chicken wings are finished with fried shallots for even more crunch.

If you’re visiting Tuk Tuk Gai Thai Fried Chicken, try to drop avoid peak lunch or dinner times as that’s when the stall gets fairly crowded. The nearest train station from the coffeeshop is Buangkok MRT Station, which is a nine-minute walk away.
